The ever talented Jean Grae stopped by Comedy Central’s Why? with Hannibal Buress to give a hypnotizing performance of “Before The Summer Broke”. Clad in black, classic door-knocker earrings, a black stripe painted across her eyes and accompanied by in-house DJ, Flying Lotus, Niddi O, and Terrance Martin on the keys, watch as Jean proceeds to drop intricate lyricism and smooth vocals that will put the whole “is hip-hop dead?” question to rest.

Also, be sure to pick up a copy of Jean’s latest project, iSweaterGawd if you’re feeling the vibe.

Since debuting in 2012 with 10 Day, which you can download here, Chance the Rapper has been extremely active featuring on records with the likes of Childish Gambino and Joey Bada$$ as well as releasing great songs of his own like “Acid Rain” and “Juice.” Chance is now prepping for the release of his highly anticipated Acid Rap mixtape. To build some buzz for the project, he provides the visuals for the track “NaNa,” directed by comedian Hannibal Buress–who makes an appearance in the video–and Austin Vesely. In the video, Hannibal is given $5000 by web-based comedy group, JASH, to direct something outrageous. The result: Chance wearing a chicken suit atop a double-decker bus. Chance the Rapper’s Acid Rap drops April 30th. Watch the video below.
